October 21,1943 -v':-< Congressional Views •f CHAUNCEY W. johnSbijrgI Sp^ACE AIMS: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has unofficially decided to give the late House-approved Fulbright Resolution an (in) decent burial. It is the contention of the elder fathers (and the Constitution seems to bear them out) that the House spoke "oat of turn" in attempting to legislate On a subject wherein exclusive legislature jurisdiction is conferred by the Constitution on the Senate* The Committee vill rccommend- for adoption -by the Senate a resolution of its own which seems to be a definite improvement on the House sponsored measure While the House Resolution cou.d be construed as favoring the ' ,'establishment of a super-government of the world, the Senate measure is an invitation to other sovereign nations to co-operate with us "in the " establishment and maintenance of in* ternational authority with power to prevent aggression and preserve the •peace of the world." As yet. none of our allies have made any similar, conimitments. We would feel more ... if they. too. through their, propgovernmental authories, make known their aims and desires at this timife. It would be far more comforting if we knew that when hostilities cease, our representatives will sit at the peace table and negotiate with the representatives of other nations whose ideals and objectives coincide with ours. CONGRESS AND THE WAR: Occasioually we receive letters from enthusiastic citizens who criticize Congress for presuming to question any policy whatsoever promulgated by Army or Navy officials, -- the theory of these well-meaning critics being that Army and Navy officials are trained in warfare and that tfieir opinions should prevail over those of a civilian body such aa Congress. Of course, if such theory is sound, Congress would likewise be expected to adopt without debate any tax measure proposed by the Treasury Department because that department is composed of tax experts; city councils would be expected to accept without a murmur the recommendations of its board of engineers concerning local improvements and juries should free criminals if expert psychiatrists testified that they had brainstorms when they killed. Representative Calvin Johnson of Illinois who recently lost a son in the war admonished Congress last week that already it had taken too much for granted by these officials. He said, in part, "In building oUr great Army, Congress has accepted as infallible the statements of Army, Navy and diplomatic leaders, who court martialed Billie Mitchell, predicted the destruction of the Russian armies within a few months, predicted the destruction of the Japanese Navy Tyithin a few weeks, and assured the American people again and again that their policy, namely, supplying the Japanese with scrap iron, copper and other essentials would keep, us out of the war." ii Rogue Raspberry Mosaic . When symptoms of red raspberry mosaic are most easily detected agriculturists advise growers Ho take advantage of it and start roguing all diseased plants immediately. Although this virus disease is most serious on black raspberries, it can also be very destructive to red and purple varieties. The best control measure is the removal of all plants showing the symptoms. You can identify red raspberry mosaic by large irregular green blisters or swellings on the leaves, surrounded by yellowish green tissue. Diseased plants are stunted and the leaves have a dark green and yellow speckled appearance. New growth is shorter than that of healthy plants, and fruits of diseased plants are usually dry, seedy and tasteless. When roguing, remove and de- S^roy not only the young shoots showing the symptoms, but also the entire mother plant from which the shoots grow. 'Buffalo Bill' Fed Workers Completion of transcontinental railroad in 1869 stimulated great interest in the West. William F. Cody's feats in supplying buffalo meat for railroad construction crews include thrilling stories. Chemicals Rescue Ores Working of low-grade deposits, formerly thought of little value, is made possible by so-called froth flotation. Chemicals with an affinity for the grains of ore lift them in a bath from worthless residues. Must Be Swimmers Every U. S. marine must be able to swim before he is assigned to duty aboard a battleship or cruiser. Pools Breed Mosquitoes Many thousands of small breeding places on private property are contributing to the total of mosquitoes on the wing. Every person is urged to get rid, of cans, bottles or other water holding receptacles in his yard, clean out leaves or obstructions from drainage ditches flowing through his property, and fill in any holes holding standing water. Flooded cellars should be sprayed with kerosene or furnace oil--a quart is enough for the average cellar. Subscribe for The Plaindealert AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF 0 (By Mr«- Arthur Klein) j Mrs..

He lost an eye, sustained other wounds from furious enemy fire, but his message was urgent. He stuck and got it through, winning the Navy Cross. Weapons are urgent too, and your War Bonds buy them. iHiemistry in U. S. . Chemistry in this country actually had its beginnings 300 years ago. As early as 1635 a very small unit was set up to supply alum for use in curing fur pelts. Saltpeter was produced to make gunpowder. As the years passed, America became world headquarters for phosphate fertilizers. The inventions of two Americans--Fra,sch and Hall--gave us dominating positions in sulphur and aluminum. The first successful plastics were American inventions. So were the vulcanization of rubber, creation of one of the first improved steel alloys, and introduction of modern photography. "V&re you putting up many greens and vegetables from your Victory garden this year? In other years, the first question we asked after that, was, do you have a pressure cooker? You see, a pressure cooker is the. safest, most desirable method of putting up vegetables which are non - acid. The reason: In most soil there is a d e a d l y g e r m called Botulinus which attaches itself to vegetables in the non-acid class, to which most of them belong. Mr. Botulinus is hard to destroy except by extreme heat--which the pressure cooker can give as most vegetables are processed at an above-boiling point-, 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Let me go on record as saying use the pressure cooker if you possibly can. Chances of your being able to buy one are slim, but perhaps there's a neighbor or friend or a local canning center which will give you the means of having one. If it's absolutely impossible to obtain a pressure cooker, do non-acid vegetables by the boiling water bath. It takes much longer to process the vegetables, but don't skimp -a minute of it, if you would be successful. < Processing Food! Processing times have been carefully tested and cannot be shortened. Follow them to the letter to get results. Processing may be done in various ways, and it is important to select the one best suited to the food you are putting up. A pressure cooker gives you the greatest degree of safety in canning non-acid vegetables for it permits the greatest degree of heat to penetrate the jar and thus destroy botulinus. To use the pressure cooker, prepare the product, precook it and pack carefully in sterilized jars. Adjust cap. Prepare pressure cooker by pouring hot water into the bottom of the cooker up to the level of the rack. Place 'filled jars on rack, allowing for sufficient circulation of water around them. Be sure jars do not touch. Place top on pressure cooker and clamp on tightly. Leave pet cock open 7-10 minutes to exhaust all steam in cooker, otherwise you will not get correct pressure. After all steam is exhausted, close pet-cock and let pressure mount to desired degree, then turn down heat, and maintain pressure exactly or liquid Will be drained from jars if pressure is allowed to fluctuate. i When processing time is up, remove cooker from heat, let pressure reach zero, then remove lid, so steam does not hit you when cooker is opened. Set jars on several thickness of cloth or paper, and let cool, without inverting. 4 Hot Water BatK. v A large, deep vessel with a tightfitting cover is best for making this type of canner. Use a big kettle, a lard can, a deep well cooker with galvanized wire or rack at the bot torn of it to hold the jars one-half inch from the bottom of the canner. Before putting jars in canner, ha\e water boiling briskly.

Lynn Says: What to Do: Make rationing work by usijng fresh fruits and vegetables for canned whenever possible. To save money, use seasonal produce generously. In main dishes that call for tomatoes or tomato juice, use fresh tomatoes when in season, put up home canned food£, or substitute brown gravy. Save and store excess water from vegetables in a covered container and use for flavoring soups, stews and gravies. Orr|it rhili tanpp nnH latsnp in recipes unless you have the homecanned variety. Chopped £reen pepper and relishes add pep to salads and sandwich fillings without taking ration poinls. Cooked dressings or sour cream dressings will help s»ave your using too much oil for salad dressings. Save every ounce of extra fat from meat. Use it for baking or frying, or give it to the butcher. not count processing time. Until the water boils. It's especially important to make certain there's plenty of water in the boiling water bath. There should be enough to come two inches above the jars. If water boils out during processing, add some boiling water from k teakettle on the range; Canning Procedure. Use the table given at the head of this column for guiding you in precooking and processing vegetables. The ideal way of proceeding with your canning is as follows: First, before you even start canning, get jars ready by washing them in hot soapy suds and scalding them. Check for nicks, cracks and sharp edges on jars, to see that they are perfect. Prepare jars ahead of time and invert them on several thicknesses of clean towel near your stove so that you have them on hand when canning. Prepare vegetables by washing thoroughly and then cutting or preparing as for table. Precook, according to table. Pack in sterile jars and process for required time. Set jars to cool, after processing on several thicknesses of (towel or; newspaper, away from drar^s. Let cool for 24 hours. If using a selfsealing lid with screw band, remove screw band and use it over again. Test the jars by tapping gently on lid. If you get a high ringing note, the jar is sealed and may be stored.- Reasons for Spoilage. Spoilage reasons are many and may be traced to any part of the canning procedure. Sometimes it is easier to avoid failures if you know what causes certain types of spoilage. If fruit or vegetables are overripe, sterilization is difficult as bacteria may have developed to a degree which it is not possible to arrest. Use only produce in prime condition as you get out of your jars what you put in them. W a s h i n g a l l vegetables and fruits before working will get rid of bacteria which cling in the soil. Unclean jars can work havoc with your canning effort. Best remedy for this is washing jars thoroughly in clean soapy suds and then scald- , ing, and laying the jars inverted on several thicknesses of clean towel until ready to use. Lids should also be sterilized. Sealing. /'• Seal the cap accordin^io the principle on which it was made. A selfsealing cap seals by vacuum created by the cooling of the contents of the jar, and the screw band does not need tightening after processing. Zinc caps and rubber bands should be tightened. \ Can for Health. Fruits and vegetables are known to be a rich source of health-giving vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A for example, so extremely essentia, to children and adults alike, is found in large quantities of certain fruits and vegetables. Vitamin A promotes growth; it helps to prevent eye diseases; it helps guard against infections; it helps prevent night blindness; it aids in the normal functioning of glands; it increases the life span.
